The State of the Union address was last night, and it went pretty much according to script – the President shared his thoughts, the Republicans rebutted. Both spoke about the American people, but neither spoke tothem. Forward did.
We asked you to share the state of the Union from your perspective, and we were overwhelmed by the response. Here are a few that we received:
We know the issues facing Birmingham, Alabama, will differ from those in Bellingham, Washington, and the solutions to those issues will be as distinct as those communities. That is the true bedrock of our Union – communities united together, but tackling the issues they face in a way that makes sense for them. That understanding is sadly lost in the current political climate.
Forward is a party that not only understands that nuance but is built specifically around it! We know top-down decision-making is unproductive, and we welcome community-based solutions to the issues we face. It’s a nuance our Co-Chair Gov. Christine Todd Whitman addresses in the video below.
Forward is doing things differently. Together, we’re building a new party that celebrates our differences and welcomes nuance. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
